50th Anniversary – Watts Rebellion

The Watts Rebellion or the Watts Riots, marked the course of the community, nation and the world. Even thought I grew up in another country, the inequalities are the same. Today, images of the events in 1965 testify the degree of chaos during a time in which people were fed up and united in demand of equal treatment and opportunities.

During the 1960’s, there were many social movements that ignited in the country, these were usually against the corruption of the government, and the maltreatment of minorities and the disabled.
